I think they all would be. The most important part, ( the black box ) is what needs to be right for the ignition system. Not sure which one it needs to be tho. Someone may have an old catalog for them

Probably the best way go is with a "Tiny Tach". They work on most anything.

Yea, but they don't look as cool.. I actually tried finding an Airguide tach that would match the Airguide speedometer on my boat. Found several but about 1% were listed to work with the Mercury magneto's. Many of those were in the $300 range for garbage tachs but working black boxes.

I have an airguide compass and they do look cool I must admit.
